High court denies gay marriage appeals [legal immediately in IN, OK, UT, VA and WI]
AP ^ | 10/06/2014 | Mark Sherman

Posted on 10/06/2014 7:07:01 AM PDT by GIdget2004

he Supreme Court has turned away appeals from five states seeking to prohibit same-sex marriages, paving the way for an immediate expansion of gay and lesbian unions.

The justices on Monday did not comment in rejecting appeals from Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.

The court's order immediately ends delays on marriage in those states. Couples in six other states should be able to get married in short order.

That would make same-sex marriage legal in 30 states and the District of Columbia.

But the justices have left unresolved for now the question of same-sex marriage nationwide.

Apparently the morons in black robes learned absolutely NOTHING from four decades of turmoil over Roe v. Wade.

You say that as if they look at Roe v. Wade as a BAD thing.......

(which it is, but to them, its all part of the plan)

They have not left anything unresolved. They have made it clear they expect every other court to follow suit and legalize homosexual marriage. Unhappily, this has been the result of 50+ years of viewing marriage as being about adult happiness rather than building the next generation and a societal interest in stable families raising kids with effective role models.

But if anyone had opposed easy divorce laws in the 60s based on the idea that a slippery slope had been created that would allow homosexuals marriage to be endorsed by the US government, they would have been laughed at!

Those morons are unaccountable and could care less about what we think about their rulings. They are the high priests.

The country is run by liberal elites, statists, and corrupt career politicians who impose their will on the rest of us. The system is broken and beyond repair. Just saying.

Denying the appeals is effectively ruling against them, in those cases where the status quo allows SSM. This is a bad outcome.

This non-ruling will effectively make it legal in 30 states and DC. Aside from the 5 listed above, it also will make it legal in North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Colorado, Kansas and Wyoming.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/10/06/supreme-court-gay-marriage/16546959/

“The Supreme Court refused to get involved in the national debate over same-sex marriage Monday, leaving intact lower court rulings that will legalize the practice in 11 additional states.

“The unexpected decision by the justices, announced without further explanation, immediately affects five states in which federal appeals courts had struck down bans against gay marriage: Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Utah.

“It also will bring along six other states located in the judicial circuits overseen by those appellate courts: North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Colorado, Kansas and Wyoming. Lower court judges in those states must abide by their appeals court rulings.”

The sane response is to begin secession immediately. We cannot be a part of a profligate, fascist government any longer.

Coming next will be "federal judges" ordering various pastors at conservative churches that refuse to acknowledge sodomites' "right to marry" performed by those churches.

You don't honestly believe that lesbians innocently chose "Christian bakeries and photographers" to demand their "right to be served" do you?

Nope, it's the "we just want to be left alone to live our lives" folk that seek out those they know, find their choice of behavior to be an abomination in the sight of God, to demand their "rights," knowing full well that liberal jurists will grant their "right to be served" by anyone wishing to earn their livelihood in Amerika.

That this is virtual forced slavery of the worst kind, seemingly matters not in Amerika today. God help us!

It look like they have no concern for rule of law only social change.
They are getting closer to becoming dangerous.

The bad thing is this could become a legislative battle like the right to life but in the meantime, same-sex marriages are given governmental licenses too and it would be difficult to then ever nullify the licenses down the road.

This will not end well for the homosexual degenerates. But I repeat myself. Nature will find a way to cleans itself of this, one way or another.

It’s too bad, the same-sex marriage advocates would say “It’ll be legal with 2 years” or something like that and it looks like they are right.

If Christians aren't allowed to conduct business in a Christian manner, then going on welfare and having lots of babies may soon be the moral thing to do.

What if all Christian business owners sold their businesses, went on welfare, and started having lots of babies?

If the US doesn't want them to conduct business the way they choose, then why not become a weight on that government?

Don't the Hasidim in Israel live their lives this way?
